Godin ruled out of Atletico's trip to Malaga

Atletico Madrid captain Diego Godin will sit out Saturday's trip to Malaga in LaLiga, but Diego Simeone hopes he will be available next week.

Godin underwent dental surgery after having some of his teeth knocked out in a sickening collision with Neto during Sunday's 1-0 triumph over Valencia.

The Uruguay international will be absent against bottom side Malaga - winless in seven league outings - but could return in the aftermath, with the Europa League last-32 tie against Copenhagen coming up.
